The labels are also easy to install, with a self-adhesive backing that allows for quick and simple application to a variety of surfaces. by this I stick a laminated label, and with a hand held printer, I individually identify all earths and bonds in sequence, and stick onto main label. Those little symbols that come with Schneider (and other makes) consumer units don't really do it for me.
One change is the removal of the requirement to apply identification labelling notices to the exterior of domestic consumer units once installation has been completed. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. With a customized consumer unit notice created with the Electrical Tools and Reference App you can select from the available labels to include on the A4 consumer unit notice, add your company logo, contact details, change the main colours, add additional notes and print directly from your mobile device.Designed to reduce some of the administrative burden contractors grapple with, the modifications to the regulations will help free up time post installations and please homeowners. However, there are still some installations where the old-style labelling will be required, such as a dual supply installation, for example where solar is included. The amount of required warning labels, notices and stickers has increased in recent years resulting in consumer units being plastered in a plenitude of unsightly labels and stickers, which understandably the householder may not like if the consumer unit is in a prominent position in their home, this can look unsightly, messy and unprofessional.
These labels, each of which has a unique serial number, can for example be fixed across the 'back plate' and the 'front cover' of a consumer unit leaving free access to operate the circuit-breakers.The use of a single A4 DB notice cleans up the area around and on the consumer unit, looks neater and more professional than a plethora of stickers covering the entire face of the consumer unit or distribution board. This innovative product is designed to alert users to the presence of mixed wiring in electrical systems, ensuring that all safety protocols are adhered to. Red dots (a hot colour) - for power - sockets or cooker (further sub divided by the red stripes just visible above the fuse terminal shield) - one thick for cooker, two (or more) thin for sockets.
In addition, electricians have had to find the time to apply the labels even after they have taken pride in creating a neat wiring execution within the interior of the consumer unit itself. These labels are NICEIC Branded and are only available to Approved Contractors and Domestic Installers. Caution labels have been designed for alterations or additions to electrical installations where both wiring colours are used - a warning notice must be fixed at the distribution board or consumer unit.
In larger homes were there might be more than one of each type of circuit you simply had to pull a fuse or two and see what stopped working - not too onerous (and probably more reliable that someone else's labels). With clear, easy-to-read text and bold graphics, these warning labels are highly visible and serve as a constant reminder to users to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines.
